"Lilt your Johnnie."

Wi' patchit brose and ilka pen,

Nae bairns to clad the gleesome ken;

But chapmen billies, a' gude men,

And Doon sae bonnie!

Ne'er let the scornfu' mutchit ben;

But lilt your Johnnie!

For whistle binkie's unco' biel,

Wad haggis mak of ony chiel,

To jaup in luggies like the deil,
